MySpace Pepper

I’m running this pepper on my site hosted by Dreamhost, running PHP 5.2.2 ‘with extra web security’ but not as cgi. The hits aren’t registering. I’d be happy to tweak settings and relay the results, any suggestions?

Osiris, I know you said you’re not running PHP as a CGI but another fellow here that was on Dreamhost had the same problem and I want you to try what fixed his problem. Change your .htaccess file to this:

This pepper is great! I have always wanted a simple solution for this problem.

I had to resort to the RewriteRule method to get it to work, none of the AddHandler lines would work on my Slicehost VPS. I’m running the default versions of apache2 and php when you install them with Gentoo Linux.

Anyway, I was wondering if you have looked into ignoring hits that contain the Mint cookie.

It does not register the hit when I visit register.png directly, but it does show up as a broken image rather than attempting to download it.

I should add though, that I was mistaken earlier on the server, I was thinking of a different client. This one is not on dreamhost and it’s a PHP4 server, so I switched to the ‘AddHandler php-cgi .png’ (although both seem to prevent downloading of the image.)

It only asks for the download when I myself attempt to visit the .png so it must have to do with the cookie. But for all the other millions of potential visitors on the internet, so I’ll stop trying to be a perfectionist if it works for you. =) Thanks for checking.
